HERR MOST PUT In JAIL.
HIS vAPORINGS ALTOGETHER TOO
BLOODTHIRSTY.

He Fled After Making a Particularly
Lurid Speech But the Police Kept
Quiet and Took Him in on His Return
Most Denies the Utterances At
tributed to Him.
New YORK, Nov. 17.-Herr Most, the
Anarchist, has been arrested and taken to
police headquarters. His arrest was made
by direction of Inspector Byrnes, on a war
rant issued by Justice Coming to-day for
having made an incendiary speech calcu-
lated to incite riot last Saturday night in
hall on Seventh street The warrant was
made returnable before Justice Coming in
court. On Saturday night wake was to
be held by the Anarchists in Florence Hall,
on Second avenue, but Capt McCullagh
succeeded in getting his officers there before
the Socialists arrived, and made the place
decidedly uncomfortable for the malcon-
tents. While this was going on Johann
Most with his companion, Lena Fisher, was
attending an Anarchist meeting on Seventh
street
A BLooDTHIRSTY SPEECH.
After the audience got well warmed up
Herr Most made speech, which was par
OlCuldIly DlOOuuulTSUJ Ill llS cndIdCueT. On-
fortunately for Herr Most Patrolmen Rott
and Sechs, of the Fourteenth precinct, were
there in civilians clothes taking notes These
memorandss were brought to Supt. Murray
and laid before him, and on Monday a
search was begun for the Anarchist. He
was not to be found. There was every rea-
son to believe that he had left the jurisdic-
ton of the State, and was in hiding some
where. Then the shrewdneSs of Inspector
Byrnes came into play He knew that if
he made public the quandary of the police
Herr Most would naturally learn of it, and
he would stay out of the city indefinitely so
he kept his mouth sealed, and allowed ths
excitement of the search for Herr Most to
die out
MOST RETURNS.
The bait was well used Herr Most
thought the trouble was gone by, and yes
terday he came back to the CITY and went
to work on lis paper. Mr.. Byrnes was
informed of this, and early this morning he
went before the District Attorney and pre-
sented the evidence he had obtained against
Herr Most, and asked that the grand jury
find an Indictment against him. The In
spector and seven witnesses gave testimony,
and an Indictment was found. In the
meanwhile Herr Most had been arrested.
Herr Most insists that he did not use the
language attributed to him by the police.
As this is the second time he has been ar
rested on the same charge he will probably
get the full extent of the law. which is one
years Imprisonment with fine.
